Application Booklet to join the
EXECUTIVE BOARD of AIESEC in UTP 2016
Dear Leader, You are a pretty awesome human being. You are unique, talented and ambitious. Perhaps, you have ideas no-one else has, or values that everyone needs to learn from. Maybe you dream of a better society, or you know your work will make Panama a better place. You are right. At the same time you believe you can be more; learn more, know more. You want to grow, and develop yourself because that is the only way of achieving your dreams and goals. Actually, you are specifically reading this because you think being part of this Executive Board will make you a better you. You are wrong.
Being part of this Executive Board will make you stop thinking about yourself. Thinking about growing more, knowing more, learning more, being more, is helping exactly no one. Everyone around us needs you. Society, our interns, our partners, our university, need you. They need leadership. They need you to fulfil your dream. They need you to go and achieve your goals. Everyone needs you to be their leader. Ultimately, the UTP Army needs you too. We need direction, focus, expertise. We need strategies to grow. We need someone that shows us the way. We need an example and a friend. We need you to be our next Vice President. We need someone that stops thinking about him or herself, and starts giving it all because everyone around us needs us.
We need you to be our best
ARCHER Are you ready?
The Strategy In 2015, we had a huge success inside. Our committee is strong and achieving exchanges. Results–Oriented, good financial health, strong processes, several Good Case Practices. We are on our way to achieve 200% Growth in only one year by tripling our exchanges. What’s next?
Reaching outwards. We need to reach our interns and EPs, and make them go through the same challenging experiences we do. We need to reach our partners, and empower them to join our Movement. We need to reach other committees and actively contribute our knowledge while learning from them. We need to start…
Activating Leadership by Empowering Others
So, we focus on three drivers that get us there: Our arrows are the Product We Trust
LEADERSHIP–CENTRIC OPERATIONS
Our archers are the Real Achievers
An ARMY of ACHIEVERs
Our bow lets us Reach Everyone
STAKEHOLDERS EMPOWERMENT
The Executive Board 2016 A clear vision, and three drivers are only the starting point. What projects will we focus on? Who will work on what? When? The how of our vision is the next step, and I need my team to prepare the strategies and plans, and then execute this plan.

The Logic My vision requires a varied team of various talents and expertise. For this reason, you will first apply to be part of the EB, and then apply to a specific area. I ask you to have an open mind, because I might suggest you to lead a different area, because of your personality or skills; At the end it is obviously your decision whether or not you apply to a certain area or not.

The Voting Night
In this part you will receive a functional challenge for the areas you are applying to. You will present the answers to each challenge to the LCVPc of the area, and the MCVP of the area. Additionally, you will have an interview with me.
Much more information will be given when the date is coming closer. Just remember that to be considered for EB, you must receive a “confidence vote� from the committee, meaning you must make your documents understandable to everyone. Simple, clear ideas always win.
